Maybe he slides to the Chiefs in Round 2?

If you want Ferguson at SDE, then that’s fine and makes sense.

All I’m saying is he’s not a LEO.

shrug. maybe. I think otherwise but it's all just hunches. There are no sure things late in the order, it's all projections and hopes.

I like his physicality. I think anyone playing RDE is going to benefit from playing next to Jones. he's got good hands and strength; I don't think he HAS to be a speed rush guy in that spot. Solid technicians can wreak havoc too.

That said, if so, I'm not a huge Polite guy in this defense either. Does he have the size to play the Leo effectively? Awareness in space to play SLB? Seems to not fit Spags scheme as well as others.

He does seem to be a ton like Ford in a lot of ways and I'm really intrigued by what Ford could do as a Leo in this system, but I'd still move him for a high 2nd due to cap concerns. If it came to a situation where I thought we could get Polite with our 1st and move Ford for the pick we could use on Adderley, I'd go that route and be pretty content.

Nope, wasn't me. Someone was on the Polite train though and I can't recall whom. I'm really not on the edge rusher in 1 train at all. I think the Chiefs should get one in FA or the draft somewhere but I'd much rather another penetrating DT in 1 than an edge guy. That said, I see the two biggest issues as LB and DB and two of the top 3 picks at least need to go to those positions.

As for Ferguson, I do absolutely disagree on his ability to force the play from the left side and bend but to each their own. He also really closes fast.

I'd like one somewhere in that first 3 picks. We're going to need one if not this year to start, at least to groom and rotate. Otherwise, i feel like we're just really, really hoping that Kpass has just been so miscast as to be useless and he's ready to break out.
